Re: How to apply column properties to multiple columns?

If you select all of the columns you want to change, you can then go to the pull down menu

Cols==>Standardize Attributes

In that dialog, you can change both the Data Type and the Modeling Type. Make sure you change the Data Type first. Character data is always Nominal, so if the columns you are attempting to change the Modeling Type are not Numeric, you will not be able to change them to Continuous. BTW, I assume that is the issue with your latest posting too.

Re: How to apply column properties to multiple columns?

Thanks for the prompt reply. In order to do a quick test to see if the problem is in the actual data or not, I changed 'numeric/continuous' data of two columns into text (character) data. But, when I tried to change it back to the numeric/continuous, it didn't allow me to do so. (Is it because the data is 'now' nominal as you said, after I changed it to Text Data? If so, it might be the same issue when I was trying to change the other columns in my database).

Re: How to apply column properties to multiple columns?

When changing from Character to Numeric, you need to change the data type first. You have started that process in your attachment, but you need to click on the "Apply" button, to make that change happen. Then you can go back and click on the "Attributes" button and select "Modeling Type".
